About the author...

I have been writing stories for pretty much as long as I can remember. Although I have mucked about a bit with a lot of different genres and styles, I think of myself mainly as a fantasy author.

I write a spectrum of fantasy, from light, fluffy, comedic stuff, through more more magical, fairy-tale stuff (often with a post-modern or ‘meta’ slant, and sometimes even with a hint of magical realism), to darker fantasy and grim folk-tale inspired fiction. At the very far end of the spectrum, I do write some fantasy that’s so dark it’s bordering on horror. I tend not to write heroic or epic fantasy (though that said, I do have one idea in the pipeline…)

​The 'micro-stories' is where I post new, tiny stories. These are usually between 150 and 1000 words or so. These stories stay on my website for a few months, and then get cycled off, never to return. They are replaced by new stories, and I package the old ones together with another, longer story and put the mini-collection up on amazon. That's the plan at least - watch this space to see if it actually comes off!

For longer stories, check out the links in the 'stories and interviews' page.

I have worked various jobs (including driving a tractor, working in a lab, and selling boomerangs at Covent Garden in London); I am now a GP registrar in the East Midlands. I am married to a woman who thinks she is a badger, and have a beautiful young boy called Ben. My parents run a hedge maze in Bedfordshire, which you can visit (though the opening times change with the seasons).
